AI Conversations: new type, Pulse Quiz

Pulse Quiz is a new AI Conversation type that delivers quickfire questions to students, which are generated during a conversation and grounded in course content the instructor selects. A persona defined by the instructor hosts the quiz, asks each question in turn, responds to the student's answer, and summarizes the results at the end. This gives students an informal, fast-paced way to check what they have retained without the weight of a formal test.

Because questions are generated during the conversation, each student receives a slightly different set of questions. Instructors don’t review the questions before students see them. This is deliberate: Pulse Quiz is designed for informal, low-pressure practice. Instructors who need to curate and verify specific questions in advance should use a test instead, which gives them full control over what is asked and how it is scored.

Informal assessment: You cannot enable grading

Pulse Quiz submissions are not automatically graded. Even though the quiz reports how many questions the student answered correctly, the result is not passed to the gradebook. Instructors open the submission to review the full conversation transcript along with the student's response to the reflection question, then provide feedback and a grade. This keeps the instructor in control of how an informal, AI-generated activity is assessed.

AI conversation setup highlights Pulse quiz, alongside Socratic questioning and role-play options in educational platform.
